Southern New Hampshire University- my experience getting 2 degrees in 4.5 years 

I love it!! I’ve tried online college program previously and didn’t like it, but I’m currently in course 7 and 8 and I plan on continuing until my name is printed on that Bachelors Degree and then Masters.

Thank you very much for this review. I've been looking at SNHU and am glad I got a chance to hear from a graduate that worked full-time while working the degree program. This is very reassuring. Oh, and congrats on both degrees!

I'm finishing up my BA in Psychology at SNHU in December '21, and will go right into their MS in Psychology in January '22. SNHU is a great school from what I've experienced so far, my advisor is great, professors are cool and you do have to work for this degree. The courses I've taken are all research heavy and writing based mostly. For $30K or so I'll earn both degrees, which shows the affordability of this school. Not a lot of schools offer a Forensic Psychology concentration, and not a lot of schools allow you to study psychopathy, serial murder and other more serious aspects of the field. Course selection is ample, and I'm ready to graduate in a few months. Thank you for this video. Everything was done online as well. I work in a group home as well, and I can say going to school looks good in this field. Update: I finished my Masters in Psychology 😅🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 #SNHU23

I start my first course January 2nd for a Computer Science Degree here @ SNHU. I'm really nervous, especially after seeing my course plan coming up, but the orientation has really made me feel like a lot of help will be available if needed. I'm going to put everything I can into it, and go extremely hard at achieving this Bachelor's. I just know I have chosen an extremely tough Degree and can't help but doubt myself just a wee little. But, anyways, here's to 2023 and all of the success I pray it brings.

I'm doing my M.A. in English & Creative Writing right now at SNHU and it has made getting my master's in my late 30s worth it. I'm happy about my choice so far.

I'm in my final 4 classes of my bachelors in business admin. I have to say I am a big fan of SNHU. I have friends who went to UNH who thought of SNHU was a diploma mill yet all my friends who graduated from SNHU landed considerable higher paying jobs. I would definitely recommend SNHU to anyone who works full time and needs flexibility.

This video is too underrated! You touched on all of the things that I was concerned about in the back of my mind and thank you so much for sharing the insecurities you originally had and then how it worked out for you. I just started my masters degree at SNHU and there does seem to be a stigma about online programs. But at the end of the day I’m so happy with my decision to choose SNHU, actually ecstatic. It’s half the cost of what my previous university’s tuition for a masters and the fact that I’m able to do it online is like a dream come true for me for multiple reasons. Also, my current job in government offers some tuition reimbursement and I was nervous they wouldn’t approve SNHU as an institution that they recognize, but they approved it! I’m no longer feeling insecure about it and my classes are NOT easy. Congrats on graduating and hope your new job is going well! It would be cool to see a follow up video.

47 year old Jamaican just applied to SNHU social work undergrad. Got my CNA,PCT, and GED. Been looking at them before I got my G card. Now I'm ready to go. ❤❤

I started SNHU in september of 2020, my major is operations management. I'm taking online classes as well. I like it so far.

Awesome I am currently enrolled at SNHU have been for a year. I am about to graduate in December then I am moving on to my Masters in counseling. Glad to hear that it was a good experience. You are right when you say you have to discipline yourself. Procrastination is a big issue for some who are doing online studies. My family is from Jamaica and I know many who chose this school. To anyone who is thinking about attending this school give it a try you won't regret it.

I work at Target and theyre offering Debt Free learning, and SHNU was one of the ones that interests me. Thank you for you time mate!

I’m starting class at the end of the month. The first school I picked was by far the worst school I could have found but I ended up going with snhu. I was still very skeptical after being accepted but this just gave me the extra excitement I needed. Ive watched a lot of videos where people could not do nothing with their degrees and I would hate to waste 4 years of my life actually trying after spending 4 years barely trying. So big ups and blessings to you, your continuing journey and your success.

Thank you for the tips and advice you are giving. I am actually about to start taking online classes at SNHU for Software Engineering. I was actually hesitant to do it but watching your videos gave me some courage and confidence to take the next step in continuing school.

i doubt you still read comments on a video this old, but as a prospective student there, i appreciated this video. i also was interested in environmental work and got my AS in stem, but due to xyz had to work and ended up working in a pharmaceutical lab. i wish you would have spent more time discussing the actual coursework, workload, expectations, and the like instead of just "you have to be willing to teach yourself", but im glad you talked about your post-snhu degree job ventures. as a fellow medical worker (that also wanted to work in a different field xD) thank you for your efforts during covid additionally, i am also a member of the long beard club. keep on rocking it!

Your video is very inspirational for young adults that are from the Caribbean. Your honesty about you experience was exactly what I needed to confirm to attend SNHU. May GOD continue to bless you and keep you!

Big up from a fellow yardie 🇯🇲 and congratulations!! I’m currently enrolled at SNHU and I’m excited and scared lol but definitely determined.

So glad I found this video. Thanks so much for making it. I'm a fellow Jamaican applying for an snhu online bachelor program and this is the kind of confirmation I was looking for. Thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I received my Bachelors in Administration at SNHU and it was a great experience. When I switched to Texas A&M MBA program it was a terrible experience. My wife noticed the stress and it was not good for a busy father working full time. I just went back to SNHU for my MBA and so glad I did. The SNHU program is difficult but so well done for flexibility on line with a busy home life. I especially appreciate I don’t have proctored exams that are scheduled.

I’m excited to go! I’m going for a Psych degree as well! 🥳

I am loving SNHU about to finish up my BS health Information management I also work full time. This school is everything love the online classes and the 8 week terms I would recommend the school to everyone

Remember yall can take most of your gen eds and free electives at sophia online for like 80 bucks and they all transfer to SNHU. I personally cut 6 months off my degree, and I've heard others say they cut a year and half off theirs.

Good video. I'm 3/4 into my CS undegrad online and I can vouch for SNHU as well. I was apprehensive at the start as SNHU doesn't have the same name recognition as the other programs I was considering. I evaluated PSU and ASU online CS programs, but both of those were a lot more expensive (around $58k vs $22k for me as a transfer student), so I went with SNHU. So far the quality of education is good, it's the exact same material you get in other CS programs, BUT (this is warning) it's pretty much what you make of it. Quizzes and projects are generally a lot easier than in other institutions, so if you are the kind of person that does the bare minimum and need to be motivated by the difficulty of exams/projects to learn, then you probably won't get the same level of education other students will. If all you want is pass the class, you probably can but you definitely won't be as prepared as other CS graduates.

I'll be start May 1st for their AS in Accounting, then I will go back for the BS in Acounting.... and if I feel up to it after all of that, get MS in Accounting. Fingers crossed I have a good expierence!

Thanks so much for sharing this. I was initially accepted and making plans to study online with Texas Tech, but I found that their course schedules weren't going to mesh with my work schedule. SNHU has been appealing because of their self-paced schedule for all courses, but I've been scared about whether the degree would be worth anything. Hearing this success story helps to reassure the choice to study with SNHU, and I really appreciate you taking the time out to make this video.

i will be starting at snhu this month my experience so far with the admission counselors and everyone was else was wonderful I'm truly excited to start on my computer science degree and then hopefully get accepted into a law school my ultimate dream is be an attorney and snhu is helping me with that stepping stone

im in my final term for my BA at SNHU. i was in your position where it was not my first choice and my first year was so easy. like too easy and I was beginning to doubt that a degree from there would be respected. I also had this fear that maybe in the future they would be equal to an online diploma mill like I've heard about Phoenix university. But I learned so much during my program and it definitely got much harder. I was unsure about their MA program but I'm thankful to have found your video!

I kemar just was browsing through and I find ur video ,I just recently graduated from snhu too, with BA in human service concentration Child and family, I also migrated from ja, I am considering the master program in public health, I can say that snhu provides the necessary tools inorder to reach one goal, individual just have to apply oneself and work hard towards your goals 💙

Congratulations on your Bachelor and Master achievements!! Your story and experience is helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on SNHU. I am currently applying to continue my education.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts. I just got accepted to SNHU and have nervous because this is my first time attending college and I am in my 30s. Talking about your overall experience, time, and the education you received at SNHU has made me feel more confident about my choice of attending this school. I appreciate your time and hope you continue to share your life experiences.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m finishing up my bachelors degree next year and I’m thinking about applying to SNHU for my masters so this video was very helpful. And congrats on your degrees!

I’m in the business administration program with snhu. Enjoying my experience and advancing snhu also offer classes on shapiro library for 80 dollars in which you can gain full credits for each class taken - Advantages🤗

Thank you. I'm a housewife and mom to three autistic teens and enrolled in my undergrad for Accounting and Finance.

I watched this video in December 2021 when I was trying to sort my after 9 years out of school. When you mentioned the offers coming in once you updated your resume, I got my stuff together to enroll. I’ll be walking the SNHU stage on 11/18 :)

You should be very proud. Thanks for sharing your experience. I found your video very encouraging and it bolstered my confidence in choosing SNHU. I have a background in Nursing with a focus on Infectious Disease/HIV-AIDS care in indigent communities in the Philadelphia Area. Going for my BS in Public Health with the hope of better serving my embattled community. Love from Philly.

I am about to start on March 1st for my BA is Psychology. I am honestly excited and also anxious. This made me feel pretty good about jobs afterword's though! I also do plan to go for my masters there too.

I love SNHU. I got my BA through them, and am just starting my masters either this fall or in January. You have done an amazing job.

I am currently attending SNHU. I will finish my BA on Dec 18, 2022. I am pursuing my MA in Data Analytics with SNHU also. I enjoy the school, and you are correct that it is a good school, and it takes discipline. I am eager to work in my new field of study, although many of the offers are below my current pay as a truck driver. Therefore I am waiting to complete part of my Master's degree before changing careers. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am excited to find a new career I enjoy.

Just finished my BA in Forensic Psych with a minor in Criminal Justice this last Oct, and will by starting my Masters in Child Developmental Psychology in April. I should also finish right around 5/ 5.5 years for both as well. Started in March of 2020, should graduate around July 2025. I loved your idea of doing fewer classes at the beginning and end, then doubling up more towards the middle. I think that it's an excellent idea to shave off some time overall, so we can get to doing what we really want - helping people! Your video was super encouraging regarding the job search too...the struggle is real! Bes of luck in future endeavors!

I'm going to enroll because (1) my job pays 100% (2) he Jamaican so he kinfolk (3) living my area (4) and live same lifestyle (5) has the same mind set... love this man , gave me strength to go back..cause I've just been sitting on credits

Yes, I attend SNHU. I love the school and its curriculum. You are right. It is NOT a degree mill by any means. You will WORK for that degree!

Thanks for the tips! I'm starting this July in Counseling.

Yes, you have to be very disciplined, in order to succeed at an online college or university. I am actually working on getting my addiction counseling license, while working on meeting the degree requirements as well. It is very hard, some nights, I wanted to quit. I had to pick myself back up, and keep going. Great video.

I have the same issues with stress. Most recently discovered I get visual migrains without pain when I am super stress. Hoping that won't happen with doing classes and my job full time

Thank you for sharing your experience. Planning to go and feel more confident knowing they will be a good fit for me to reach my goal of a new career and a new life. Again, thank you for sharing this video. Congratulations and best wishes!💜

Thank you very much. Watching your video and reading all of the comments helped me decide to say yes to SNHU. I could have started tomorrow, however I decided to start at the end of August. I just received my AA in psychology and behavioral sciences (online at a community college in LA). I will also join the psychology program with a mental health concentration. Congrats to you and everyone here that will be graduating from the school.

Thank you so much for your video. What you had to say, merely underscored what I already felt about going back to school. I am starting at SHNU next month to start my degree in Environmental Science. And I am very exited to start!

Thank you so much for the video! I work full time and couldn't find a computer science program near me that I could justify attending. This helped reassure all my worries. Hope you're doing well and congrats on your degrees!

Great Job! I attend SNHU and I pray to finish at the end to get my Masters as well.

I'm hoping to start the BS Cybersecurity degree at SNHU soon. Looking forward to learning something new and challenging to me. Thank for this video also!

I am currently enrolled in two degree programs one in European History and the other in Anthropology with a concentration in Environmental Sustainability and plan to get my masters in Public History. I have been able to use Sophia Learning and get 57 credits towards both of my degrees, i will be able to finish both of my bachelors within 2 years! I really like it so far, Congrats on your new job!

You have no idea how much ease you gave my mind i just started and so far I’m loving it and it’s almost been seeming too good to be true

I'm starting my path in computer science with snhu next month and I'm glad to know that it's worth it.

I'm debating applying for a masters in English at SNHU and found your video quite helpful!

Admission counselor was very insightful and attentive. I'm going for a BS Health Science Degree :)

Thank you so for making this inspiring video. I would love to hear about your tips for time management, stress management/healthy coping skills, work-life balance, mental health, study methods, self discipline and motivation etc. if you ever wanna make a video about it. It makes me really pround to see how far you‘ve come. I wanna go back to school as well and chose a new career path but I‘m so terrified of failing since I‘m 28 years old already. Greetings from a fellow ace.

Starting in June, and in the same field. Thank you so much for the information.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I am considering SNHU for my graduate degree and was curious about others experiences. This answers my questions.

Very informative!! By the way I did spot you on one of SNHU's commercials!!

Thank you!!! I’m ready to go back to school! Your video was very informative and helpful!

Awesome vid!! I was just on the phone with an admissions counselor! They were awesome!! Very patient. Now I’m just trying to decide what route I would like to take!

A B+ in biostatistics?! Dude, you slay!🎉

I really like your video. I am a certified nursing assistant in North Carolina and I actually stopped working as a CNA for a little while to have a break. I was working in a lockdown Covid unit. I was halfway finished through nursing school when everything shut down everything still really messed up. I’m supposed to be going back up in the spring of 2022 to finish my LPN. But now I’m thinking about doing healthcare management through Southern New Hampshire University. I have a bachelors degree in political science and English but it’s very hard to find a job in North Carolina with that type of degree. I also went ahead and got my med tech and Medaide license. I’ve worked in many long-term care facilities I love being a CNA but it’s really hard and I don’t for see myself making this little money I just want to find something that’s worth it.

Can I just say, you seem like a smart individual who has a great work ethic and you should be proud of your accomplishments. I am going to be 22 engaged, needing to move states and work to sustain myself and my soon to be family. Traditional full time on campus college I just do not have the time or location for so I am very much looking into online programs like this to advance myself and support those I care about. This video was very very helpful in my decision making progress and I can't thank you enough for sharing your experience, I hope you have a wonderful evening or day whenever you read this!

So helpful...thank you! I am currently deciding on three schools for psychology.

Great review and congrats !!! AMAZING!!

Super proud of you! I start this May!

Anyone else trying to get a BA in psychology 👀🔍 I really love, intra/interpersonal communication. Which leads my interest into the field of Social Psychology. ( already have my associates degree in Liberal Arts) if anyone could give me any tips I would greatly appreciate it. Peace ✌🏽 Love 🖤 Jesus ✝️

Thank you for this, I’m PA too! I’m planning on going to school for substance abuse counseling and hopefully get my masters later. (Most places here want you to have a masters) I learned the community college degrees wouldn’t do much for me. Penn state is way too pricey for me, also not many online schools had the degree I wanted. I was really scared that this degree wouldn’t be worth anything in PA. Im working as a clinical aide in a drug&alcohol rehab/mental health already. I’m excited to start…again thank you so much for this.

Starting next month! BA in psychology. Wish me luck lol

A’s & B’s are very hard to maintain.... I’m still an undergrad at SNHU currently in my 3rd term 😩 And I’m currently in the process of changing my major as we speak. I’m glad I’m making this decision early rather than going deep into my current major (CS) just to pursue a degree in something I’m REALLY passionate about! Right now it’s either Digital photography or Graphic Design I’m going to change over too!

Great review! Thank you! ❤️💚💛

Im attending right now at snhu online and I like the experience. I will say it can get frustrating at times but overall the staff is great and helpful. I cant say the same for every professor I've had but I've managed so far. I got on the honor roll and the president's list and was invited to a leadership group. So far I'm only 5 terms in on my bachelor's degree in finance and i plan on going for my masters in finance down the line. Anyone have any tips or advice for me id gladly appreciate it. For instance, i had hopes of making friends and networking but i haven't been able to find the time to explore the social forums they have there.

Congratulations!from one immigrant to another, we rise.

Just enrolled for my MBA for January 3🥂

This video was extremely helpful! I'm looking into getting a Masters in Public Health online from SNHU. Trying to decide between an MPH or a Masters in IO Psychology. Do you feel like the teachers were consistently available if/when you needed support? How was your experience with doing the in-person practicum? Are there specific courses that are demanding that you feel they should only be taken by themselves? I think I would start off with taking one course per term, but I would like to try 2 per term from time to time.

I loved your video. I plan to go. I been accepted. My major is Human Services and family and children counseling

compared to other universities have you been able to get the same job opportunities? taking classes with SNHU as my current employer is paying for it, but wanted to know if it was worth it. thought about just taking what I can at SNHU and transferring out because im scared of the "online" stigma

Hello, I am happy that you had a wonderful experience with SNHU. Would you say that all their programs are comparable in quality? I have looked on multiple platforms and reviews and I am still getting mix feedback regarding the online program. Also, on your physical degrees does it state that it is online because I am unclear why employers did not seek you out during your job hunting process even with your masters. I am looking at pursuing a masters in marketing. Thank you!

i got an A- in my stat class and I don't have confidence in it lol. i have acc 201 and that is just as bad imo.

What is the snhu experiential class? They said it was 60 hours instead of a 150 hour internship. However if we are doing online classes how is that possible? I was looking at public community health then going into counseling

Can you do an update video, how is everything going now?

What's the assignments like? I'm currently studying IT at Purdue Global and they are having us write discussion after discussion every week for every class. I'm more interesting in doing IT but I feel like I'm taking a writing major. I've worked in the industry before and from my experience no one reads past the second sentence of an email anyway. Is SNHU any better? I'm getting it free through my employer.

Thank you for the video! I am considering this school. I just want to finish my AA but would you think it would be just as easy to just go for the BA?

This video was super helpful, thank you!

Thank you for sharing!

What do you mean by pushing? Because I've been through stressful situation and I started having thyroid problems and my heart is giving me some discomfort too now

i just started on march first. i'm going for my masters in psychology

Thank you for this video.

Hi I just found this video I been doing some research lately on SNHU, I was thinking on doing online Cybersecurity do you think it’s Better to start with my Associates or just jump right into bachelors

Congrats!

Hello sir, I am very interested in this online university. I am 19 from Myanmar and honestly i am in a very tight budget situation so that's why i wanted to get a degree through online since both my parents are getting older too. I don't want to put stress on them. I want to know if majoring in communication studies can just be done online or need some physical experience which i don't really think so. What do you think? Thank you soo much for sharing your experience they means a lot to people like me.

Take love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 I have decided to take admission form SNHU for Ms Business Analytics program. As a international student what benefits I will take from SNHU ? What will be my campus experience ? I am looking for someone who can share his or her experience over the period.

Great video bro…!

Thanks for this information

thank you for sharing

I’m wondering how this school compares to WGU? Anyone know which school is better?

Sick sleeves man! Good video.

Does SNHU have proctored exams?

Meaning it can take you just 2.5 years to get your bachelors

I want to do online classes for criminal justice but I'm really wrecking my brain about doing papers.😪
